Surprisingly, D.C. has quite a few stores that have older SW Old Fitz BIB sitting on the shelves. In fact, if you look at Sijan's latest entry, he too found a number of bottles of Old Fitz. I'm headed back into D.C. next week to poke around.

Greg, very nice.... and my wife thinks I am compulsive!!

Not where I keep my bottles, I just put what bourbons I have there for the purpose of the picture. There is a bottle missing, my EW Green Label which is in the kitchen. I was mixing a marinade with it earlier. The shot glasses represent about half I have collected.
The red wine. I’m a few bottles down as you can see.
The wine fridge in the dinning room for the white wines and the Blue Moon Belgian White beer.
I have a few of these. My collection may not be a big as some, but what I have is good stuff. And the wet bar isn't very big so I've had to adjust to accomodate the various things. My collection contains several glasses, tumblers, and steins that are collectors peices but that will have to wait for another day.
Oh, and sorry about the picture size, I didn't realize they would be that large.

As he removed the cork from the bottle of bourbon, he threw it across the room and said, "we ain't gonna need that no more".

Michael, that's a fine collection. It's great to see someone who knows what they drink and stocks their bar accordingly.![]()
Looking back over this thread and seeing some impressive bunkers/stashes. Some unique bottles and some great looking old bottles. Saw my pic on p. 14. Boy, I've accumulated a few more. I'll have to get out the camera. It will take some work as the bunker is stuffed into a basement closet. And a box in the garage--gotta bring that in as the weather warms up as the garage gets pretty hot in the summer; that can't be good for whisky. I'll try to include the single malts and tequilas, too.

Here is the 'stash', the only (temporarily) inviolable bottle I have:

Fact is, I have pondered bringing it to the Sampler later this month as a prop, but feared some over-zealous soul might pop the top -- which will eventually happen, of course, but on MY schedule. For now, it will remain at home.
For the record, it was distilled in 1969, bottled in 1975. And the 'wrapping' around the cork is nothing more than Parafilm-M, which I use to preclude evaporation. The seal is intact.

As I've said before, it's not how big it is, it's how you use it.
First the liquor cabinet. It's not very large, but it's an antique, having been in my wife's family for several generations.
